HELP ME UNDERSTAND Lyrics

Artist: Hank Williams
Album: Luke The Drifter

CHORUS[SUNG]A little girl prayed at the close of the day,Cause her daddy had gone far away,On her little face was a look of despair,I stood there and listened, and I heard this prayerMy mommie says daddy has brought us to shameAnd I'm never no more to mention his nameLord take me and lead me and hold to my handOh heavenly Father help me understand

[RECITATION]You know friends I wonder--Just how many homes are broken tonightAnd just how many tears are shedBy some little word of angerThat never should have been said

I'd like to tell you a storyOf a family I once knew.We'll call them Mary and WilliamAnd their little daughter Sue

Now Mary was just a plain motherAnd Bill was just a usual dadAnd they had their little family quarrels(like everybody else)But neither one really got mad

Then one day something happenedIt was nothing of courseBut one word led to anotherAnd the last word led to a divorce

Now here were two grown up peopleWho failed to use common senseThey strengthened their own selfish prideAt little Sue's expense

You know she didnŠ ask to be brought tothis worldTo drift from pillar to postBut a divorce never stops to considerThe ones it hurts the most

ThereŠŽ be a lot more honest lovingIn this wicked ole world todayIf just a few parted parentsCould hear little Sue say

[SUNG]Take me and lead me and hold to my handOh heavenly Father, help me understand
